USF: Scenario - Sonic and Mega Man

(Two Doctors, Two Dimensions, Two Heroes) BGM: "Mega Man – Dr. Wily Stage 1”

<Dr. Wily> “Nyahahahahaha!~ Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please. The name's Wily! The one and only…the brilliant scientist, Dr. Wily! It may seem rather sudden to you, but I have decide to inform you on a certain out of the ordinary encounter I’ve had recently. My plans to conquer the world and rub it in the face of Dr. Thomas Light are often ruined by that blue Mega-Dweeb, but it through these Chaos Emeralds that I was able to discover a kindred spirit whom had a similar blue hero a problem. A talking bipedal hedgehog of all things! Let me fill some knowledge into your feeble minds as I re-account my tale on just how these two worlds collided.”

"A Fighting Robot"

“Ever since the day I first claimed and reprogrammed the first six of Thomas’ Robot Masters, he has always sent that meddling “blue bomber” to stop me! I would built my own series of Robot Masters over the years and yet somehow Mega Man would constantly defeat them. More often than not, our battles would often reach their breaking point between he and I at my own Skull Castle, a fortress of my own personal design on which I constantly improve upon.”

Playable: Mega Man/Super Adaptor Mega Man
Enemies: Dr. Wily/Wily Machine
Stage: Skull Castle

"The Two Doctors"

“I had gone into hiding long after my previous defeat and was researching the ruins of Ra Moon, an alien artificial intelligence I would eventually regret meeting. During my work, Flash Man had stumbled upon an interesting mineral. I assumed it was either a sapphire or beryl, but what I had found was actually called a Chaos Emerald! Upon examining it, the emerald would transport a like-minded individual whose ego at first would clash with my own twice as brilliant mind until I discovered we had oh so much in common.”

Playable: Dr. Wily
Enemies: Dr. Eggman
Stage: Skull Castle

“Brother Blues”

“This fellow scientist was known as Dr. Ivo Robotnik, often known as Dr. Eggman for some reason or another. He had a similar problem with a blue hero of his own, who surprisingly was not a humanoid robot or even human! The idea of highly evolved animal life fascinated me, but we decided to put a better collaboration in the works involving the destruction of our respective nemesis. Of course, this would force me to put my current plans on indefinite hold, such as setting up a fight between the blue runt and his own brother back when he was on my side.”

Playable: Mega Man
Enemies: Proto Man
Stage: Ruined Street

“Assemble the Masters”

“Ivo had introduced me to a brilliant process of his own design. Roboticization. It could completely turn organic life instantly into an automaton! Simply brilliant! He particularly wanted to use this in turning the friends of this one Sonic Hedgehog person against him. Fiendishly clever if I do say so. I usually just reprogram the Light series to do my bidding from time to time. Of course, we each sent our own respective problem childs to capture them for us. Metal Sonic in particular shows less lip, but Ivo tells me he’s as much of a handful as Bass.”

Playable: Metal Sonic & Bass
Enemies: Blaze, Silver, and Shadow
Stage: Cocoa Island

"The Strongest? Prove it!"

“Ah yes. Bass. That ungrateful creation of mine was made from Bassnium and intended to be Mega Man’s superior in every way possible! Yet half the time that ungrateful and arrogant robot is going off on his own and even destroying my own robots! I get less of a headache when he’s venting all that moxie elsewhere. He did mentioned that somewhere between dimensions he met a certain other hedgehog with an attitude problem of his own.”

Playable: Bass
Enemies: Scourge
Stage: Cosmic Interstate

"Whistle Into Battle"

“Before the two of us out our plans into motion, us doctors had decided to get the attention of our enemies and sent our newly christened Roboticized Masters on a test run. Proto Man is often as much of problem as Mega Man, so I was amazed they were able to handle so well. Perhaps I should have my own Robot Masters work in unison more often.”

Playable: Proto Man
Enemies: Mecha Tails and Mecha Knuckles
Stage: Ruined Street

"Sparked a War”

“While not perfect, I had at least been able to show up Thomas in the past by easily copying a Mega Man of my own! My first few versions were just something I had made on the fly to counter Mega Man’s abilities at Skull Castle and it wouldn’t be until later where I could make multiple copies at once in a later encounter. Such a machine as this Copy Robot was perfect for capturing the remainder of these anthropomorphic lifeforms and having that “mega-brat” take the blame for it.”

Playable: Mega Man (Copy)
Enemies: Vector, Espio, and Charmy
Stage: Station Square

"Only One Sonic?”

“I had done my part, so Ivo would had to do his in turn in having Metal Sonic bait out Mega Man. I must admit that Metal Sonic was a big leg up on my Copy Robot. I have to say I was a bit envious. Although I would compare the Copy Robot less to Metal and more to this earlier model I read up on called Silver Sonic, but then again that model seems to favor size and power over being practical.”

Playable: Metal Sonic
Enemies: Mega Man
Stage: Emerald Hill

“Blur vs Bomber”

“Hoh-yes! Nyahahahaha! We were both certainly loving what we were seeing so far! Our two blue arch-foes were now trapped together on Ivo’s world and it wouldn’t be long until one would decimate the other. We even set us up some betting pools on who would possibly fall first. Of course then Thomas had to ruin our fun just when things were getting good.”

Playable: Sonic
Enemies: Mega Man
Stage: Green Hill

“Select Your Stage”

“Somehow, someway Thomas had gotten those two blue heroes back to my own world where he had the home advantage. No more loops or slopes to hinder those big blue legs of his, but I figured we could make do with that we got until those two blue irritants actually started to reason out their situation. Augh! I should have seen this coming!”

Playable: Mega Man
Enemies: Sonic
Stage: Ruined Street

“Air Shooter”

“In a fit of desperation we put the first of our Roboticized Masters, Tails Man, against those two. We figured that Sonic would at the very least hesitate against a friend whom would not return the favor, but even still those other blue nuisance found some way to reverse the process! Curse it all! Apparently taking in the weapon data like he would for Robot Masters only reverses the process!”

Playable: Sonic & Mega Man
Enemies: Mecha Tails
Stage: Ruined Street

“The Quick and the Blue”

“So now those two were working together. Just terrific. So now was the time for our backup plan. We sent Metal Sonic towards our enemies to only momentarily engage them in combat and then lure the two to a zone of our own creation…the Skull Egg Zone! Capturing Dr. Light should have been more than enough incentive to follow Metal along to their doom.”

Playable: Sonic & Mega Man
Enemies: Metal Sonic
Stage: Skull Castle

“Cross Fusion”

“In its essence the Skull Egg Zone was a combination of the various fortresses, methods, and obstacles we’ve used against our two arch-foes. A little bit hodge-podge in its design, but it serves its purpose. For an opening act, I sent out the Copy Robot along with the Genesis Unit I first used during the Wily Tower affair.”

Playable: Mega Man
Enemies: Mega Man (Copy)
Stage: Skull Egg Zone

“Why Must We Fight?”

“That was only the first of things to come! Even knowing the advantage that Mega Man had, we would continue to use the Roboticized Masters. We began by using these Chaotix, a somewhat incompetent band of detectives, although one in particular reminds me of my own Shadow Man design. Speaking of which…”

Playable: Sonic, Mega Man, & Proto Man
Alternate: Tails
Enemies: Espio, Vector, and Charmy (Masters)
Stage: Skull Egg Zone

“The Sonic Killers”

“The next three we would send out were supposedly three of Sonic’s most powerful allies, each of whom has been in conflict with him in the past. So robots that can rival Sonic’s skills that he cannot bring himself to destroy…sounds like a firm strategy, yes? But of course, a certain Blue Bomber must ruin it all for me. Argh…maybe we should have balanced it out with some separate masters from that meddling robot.”

Playable: Sonic, Mega Man, & Tails
Alternate: Proto Man
Enemies: Shadow, Silver, and Blaze (Masters)
Stage: Skull Egg Zone

“This World is Mine!”

“My usual companions and assistants have for the most part been robots. I have to wonder in particular if Reggae is nearly as obnoxious as the ball and box bots that Ivo brought along or not. But he had one other human assistant who was detained along with Thomas. My old college exchanged a few embarrassing stories on my benefactor and eventually attempted an escape. I would put a stop to this and inform Ivo. What happened to him after that, I cannot say, but I was assured this long-nosed simpleton would no longer be an issue.”

Playable: Dr. Wily
Enemies: Snively
Stage: Death Egg – Sonic 2

“Eggman Will not Die”

“I should have known this was coming! In the midst of working with one another, Bass got to know Metal Sonic more and the two likely came to some consensus of thinking “if they’re so powerful together, then why work for us”? I’ll tell you why! It’s because we’re their creators and so much smarter! Ivo did most of the work in punishing them, but they should be grateful we continued to let them assist us and not throw their chassis into scrap bin!”

Playable: Dr. Eggman
Enemies: Bass and Metal Sonic
Stage: Egg Carrier

“Beneath the Steel”

“What Ivo was likely thinking at first with the Roboticized Masters is that Sonic would likely hesitate against his friends. Course with Mega Man reverting them to their original forms, he decided it was time for desperate measures. I admit that the potential self-destruction of living beings is a bit much, but it’s no skin off my back.”

Playable: Sonic & Mega Man
Enemies: Mecha Knuckles and Amy (Mecha)
Stage: Special Zone

“Jewel Temptress”

“It seems that we had a prowler in our midst keeping in contact with Thomas. Such a nuisance. This one kind of looked like Shade Man…if he was a Shade Woman. We wouldn’t sully our hands personally with this thief and leave her to handle our two most powerful war machines.”

Playable: Rouge
Enemies: Bass and Metal Sonic
Stage: Death Egg – Sonic 2

“The Devil you Don’t Know”

“I know little of this Chaos being, but he seemed like something that we just shouldn’t mess with. I would say something on how it’s never a good idea to mess with ancient civilization destroying monsters, but that would just be putting my foot in my mouth. I had no idea how he acquired Chaos, but I knew there was a potential hazard at hand when said creature was combined with one of my amorphous Devil models.”

Playable: Bass, Rouge, & Metal Sonic
Enemies: Chaos 6 (Devil)
Stage: Death Egg - S&K

“We Are Not Enemies!”

“She had caused quite a mess releasing the Chaos Devil, but we would capture her as our latest addition to the Roboticized Masters. Apparently she and this other Shadow Hedgehog are close friends, which is why she came looking for him along with one of Ivo’s own defects. I’ve had one or two robots turn on me, but this one was a particularly hard case that got a bit trigger happy once Mega Man was in sight.”

Playable: Mega Man
Enemies: E-123 Omega
Stage: Skull Egg Zone

“If There is An Enemy In Front Of Me…”

“I was personally hoping that last one would annihilate Mega Man. Seriously, why did Ivo let such potential get away from him? In any case, I found out we had more than one intruder. This…echidna I believe…was another fellow scientist and one whom saw are grand scheme as an unexpected blessing in disguise to sort of “reboot” the world Sonic and Ivo hail from. He seemed brilliant, but I know a madman when I see one…most the time. From my surveillance I can tell he said something to strike a nerve wire with Mega Man and prompted to attack being all “I’ll never forgive you!” and the like. Whatever. He defeated him and gave us one less wild card to worry about.”

Playable: Mega Man
Enemies: Finetivus
Stage: Knothole Ruins

“Abandoned Memories”

“We decided to make use of our little spy and have her as a last minute addition to the Roboticized Masters. I kept Sonic, Proto Man, and all those other Mobian residents in check via a backlog of just about every Robot Master I’ve ever had! As for Mega Man and the bat’s former allies, Ivo had her accompanied by these interesting inventions. Gizoids he calls them and apparently they had something not unlike Mega Man’s own Variable Weapon System. Remarkable! I just wish I kept some for myself.”

Playable: Mega Man, Shadow, & Omega
Alternate: Proto Man, Knuckles, and Sonic
Enemies: Rouge (Mecha) and Emerl x2 (Phi)
Stage: Egg Fleet

“The Perfect Devil”

“That…that maniac! He actually tried to throw Thomas out of the Skull Egg the minute he started mouthing off! I wanted to humiliate my adversary, not kill him! Dr. Light still lives, but I may have to go ahead on schedule in my impending betraying my collaborator. Although personally I should have drawn the line earlier when he fused an ancient god-like entity with my own unstable Devil series.”

Playable: Sonic & Mega Man
Enemies: Chaos 6 (Devil)
Stage: Death Egg –Sonic 2

“Sad but True”

“Duo?! Hmm…so desperate that you needed him again, is that right? Well Ivo was a bit desperate too and sent something out. That’s odd I didn’t remember a fourth female amongst the Masters. Apparently Tails Man was not the first and this “princess” is made mostly for the purpose of toying with Sonic’s hears. Ugh…robots and mammals, I don’t even want to know. A shame that a certain blue boob can’t undo the effects as easily as the others. I barely know Sonic or his love life, but I can’t help but relish it seeing Mega Man powerless to save this one.”

Playable: Sonic & Mega Man
Enemies: Mecha Sally
Stage: Death Egg – Sonic 2

“Mobius 3237: The Final Fight”

“So your most hated foes were now here within the Wily Egg. Nyehehe.~ Well they do so well against their own arch-foes, so how about we switch to where they must take on the other instead! Even if those two do manage to bumble things up, us doctors will have something special in mind at the end.”

Playable: Metal Sonic & Bass
Enemies: Sonic and Mega Man
Stage: Death Egg - S&K

“Turnabout Rivals”

“I should have known that he was going to use all those borrowed special weapons to give him the advantage. If it’s any consolation, it makes the hedgehog look inadequate in comparison. I mean he’s still biological even with all that speed. I can’t believe that not even Ivo can figure why that rodent is so astoundingly fast, but enough of that. Now is where we put my…er…our plan into motion.”

Playable: Sonic & Mega Man
Enemies: Metal Sonic and Bass
Stage: Death Egg – S&K

“Moment of Truth

“Being able to rid ourselves of our hated foes is just a cherry on top, but rewriting the world within my own image, now that’s the whole banana sundae there! Despite being more than a little cross with Ivo, I was more than happy to take those blue blunderers off guard with our latest collaborations.”

Playable: Dr.Wily/Wily Machine & Dr. Eggman/Death Egg Robo
Enemies: Sonic and Mega Man
Stage: Space Fleet

“Look What You’ve Done”

“Yes yes…I know it should have been predictable that we betrayed one another at about the same time, but I honestly believed I had the advantage being the smarter of us two. But that was it. After this it was every doctor for himself and it’s his own fault if he ends up annihilated by very Wily Machine he helped create!”

Playable: Wily Machine
Enemies: Death Egg Robo
Stage: Space Fleet

“I’m Going to Break You!”

“I was now beyond furious! Not only had that egg-head ruined everything, but the heroes were suddenly starting to win again. At that time two of their most powerful allies would arrive. I assumed the echidna’s powerful just on the basis that he has the same color scheme as Blues. Ack…I can’t even think logically now I’m so angry. All I can think of is venting against those two interlopers.”

Playable: Wily Machine
Enemies: Proto Man and Knuckles
Stage: Space Fleet

“To a Brighter Tomarrow?”

“This is all Ivo’s fault! I was so close! The two of us almost seemed like brothers from two different worlds, but then I realized what a mentally unsound ninny Dr. Ivo Robotnik was! His last ditch effort was to destroy our universal boundaries while we were still in them! There’s no telling what lasting damage that could have done on the fabric of time and space!”

CG Cutscene: Brand New Way           (BGM: We Are The Robots/Mega Man 2 Ending)

Flashes are seen of various glimpses of the final battle are shown. A long shot is shown of Sonic’s allies led by Proto Man fighting an army of Robot Masters who are shown briefly in a shot similar to the splash page from Sonic #250. Farther ahead, Duo is wrestling with the Chaos Devil while on the side, a heavily damaged Bass is leaning on Treble for support. Metal Sonic is seen dragging his damaged body towards the Wily Egg. The scene flashes farther ahead to Sonic and Mega Man fighting the Egg Wily Machine X in their respective super forms. Particularly there are small flashes Mega Man charging Super Sonic as a living projectile against the machine and eventually moving on to them both attempting to use Chaos Control to fix their universes. The scene suddenly moves to a still image of the mech’s head looming behind them just before they fire the shot that triggers the Chaos Control. After that, the scene goes to black as several voices sound off at once, at time overlapping one another.

<Sonic> “Nothing a little Chaos Control can’t fix.”

<Mega Man> “That’s it? It’s that easy?”

<Eggman> “It’s not ending like this!”
<Mega Man> “The energy…it has purpose. Everything is going to be alright!”

<Sonic> “I’ll handle my universe! You take care of yours!”

<Eggman> “If I can’t have the universe my way, then you won’t have it at all!”

<Mega Man> “…We’re coming home.”

<Sonic> “Eggman…what did you do?!”

<Mega Man> “Thank you, Sonic. Thank you…and good luck.”

As it echoes on these last words, the music scenes are shown with encounter throughout the timelines and multiverses. Axl and a certain rat named Axel are seen fighting off the Fearsome Foursome who all have armor making them resemble various Maverick style bosses in the X series. Elsewhere, Fiona Fox and The Bonne Family are fighting off members of the Egg Legion while the Servbots are looking after a tied up Jack Rabbit over near a dig site. Mega Man EXE uses a Cross Fusion that looks similar to Shard while Shard himself fights alongside him against the Life Virus somewhere in the Undernet. Morph and the MMZ version of Zero are fighting off Pantheons somewhere in the ruins of a city, while Monkey Khan defends Ciel and the resistance members against Hanumachine. In another timeline Mina Mongoose and Sonia Strumm are doing a collaboration concert at the Vista Point of Echo Ridge. One last shot is seen of Vent and Ashe fighting against Mammoth Mogul wearing armor similar to Biometal W. There are then brief glimpses of scenes shown of panels taken from both the Mega Man and Sonic comics respectively before ending on a shot of Mega Man’s helmet seen laying just outside on the grass near Freedom HQ.

BGM: Zero Speaks

<Dr. Wily> “…Lost.  Cross….realities… all for nothing…Ivo….challenge…show….dignity…

<Zero> “What’s this? I’m picking up an unknown signal. This is the base of the Maverick Hunters. Do you copy? Over.”

<Dr. Wily> “It….can’t be. Ze…ro…imposs…”

<Zero> “Your signal’s breaking up. I’ll try to lock in and get a visual.”

<Dr. Wily> “Wher…this place? Anoth…time? Gah!”

<Zero> “Wait…that face. Ungh! Damn! Signal’s lost. It was faint, but I know I’ve heard that voice somewhere before. It’ll have to wait. There’s a disturbance in progress and X needs all the help he can get out there.”

“A Shining Light…X”

“This is Zero of the Maverick Hunters’ 17th Unit. This report includes all the information I have on a strange incident from not too long ago. I came to join X in combat with what I assumed was another low-class Maverick, but instead I found him engaged in battle with a robot that looked not unlike X. According to my scanners, it didn’t identitfy as a Reploid, but there’s no way that this could be the same legendary robot that X owed his legacy to.”

Playable: Mega Man
Enemies: Mega Man X
Stage: Abandoned Highway

“Maverick Hunter: Mega Man”

“Once things calmed down, we were able to talk things out with this strange robot. Apparently he did identify as Mega Man and mentioned that he was displaced from his own timeline after encountering…a hedgehog? That last part didn’t make no sense. Can assume it’s just another Maverick with animal characteristics. The main concern at hand is a share of Mavericks that seem to also be displaced from their own world. One of them’s a giant hedgehog. Is this what he meant?”

“Another World?”

“Now that we can no further trouble, we could see to getting Mega Man back home to his own time. As much as he and X, seemed to get along, sending him home was probably for the best. We instead ended up somewhere else that…believe it or not…was filled with highly intelligent animal life along with some form of robots. They assumed we were a enemy at first as I can tell that they’ve been through a lot before now.”

“For Everlasting Freedom”

“Alia filled us in on a theory regarding just what the deal was with that Mobius. Apparently it was an alternate world that had split off from the one that this Sonic I keep hearing about originated from. The question is…did he ever end up home and what’s become of his world now. Doesn’t matter for now. Our priority is getting Mega Man back home. Just in time too. I heard he had to deal with something called Robofluenza which sounds disturbingly similar to a certain virus. This is Zero, signing off.”

----------------------------------------

<Dr. Wily> “You maniac! You imbecile! We could have had everything if you didn’t just decide to wing it and cause a paradox in the time space continuum!”

<Dr. Eggman> “Me?! I would have had things handled if you didn’t just let me get rid of Dr. Light before he became the monkey wrench in our operation!”

<Dr. Wily> “Well at least my universe is in one piece, while you have to go back to the mess you’ve made.”

<Dr. Eggman> “Oh that is it! If I’m able to hold onto my memories of this debacle then I’m making sure you’ll be having the Death Egg pay your little skullhead fortress a visit, Albert!”

<Dr. Wily> “Well you just bring it then! I have the original Yellow Devil, Sniper Joes, Mettuers, and all those Robot Masters from earlier waiting for you!”

<Dr. Eggman> “Oh I’ll be ready with Swatbots, Eggrobos, Egg Pawns, and my newly reformed Egg Army! …Believe that’s what it’s called now. Anyhow, you had best keep a look out, because this isn’t the last you’ve seen of Dr. Eggman!”

<Mega Man> “Wow. Almost makes you forget that not too long ago they were practically inseperable.”

<Sonic> “I can live with it. One robot making bad guy is enough for me and seeing them pat each other on the back so much looked kinda weird after a while.”

<Mega Man> “But I believe I should thank you all for helping save Dr. Light, yet even then I feel I should be doing more. What Eggman did was just unforgivable and I just wish there was something I could do to get your world back the way it was.”

<Sonic> “Don’t sweat it. You helped enough getting all my friends back. Sal’s back to normal and waiting for me along with all the other Freedom Fighters. Besides that its business as normal, but I can’t help but think that out there are still old buddies and enemies of mine turning out way different from what I remember.”

<Mega Man> “Well…I know what is like getting used to change and even us robots have expiration dates. Whatever happens I’ll keep on fighting until the day that both humans and robots can live in peace.”

<Sonic> “Still worried about a few things, but think things will be just fine on my end. Never thought about robots the same way as the ones on your world. Kinda makes me feel bad for all the Badniks I bust.”

<Mega Man> “Don’t worry about it Sonic. For now…just keep fighting. Fight…for everlasting freedom.”

<Dr. Wily> “Oh gag me.”

<Dr. Eggman> “Keep dreaming, buckethead.”

<Sonic> “So, how about we give these two a head start before business as usual?”

<Mega Man> “Works for me”

*Sound of Mega Buster charging along with a charging Spin Dash*

<Dr Wily & Dr. Eggman> “Ut-oh…”


(Fighters X Hunters) BGM: “Naughty Boy”

<Axl> “Uwaaa.~” That was a nice nap. Pallete should have my weapon’s lead-out up to spec after that last mission. Huh? What’s this capsule here with all my stuff? It looks a bit like those things that X is always coming across from the past. Let’s see…should I should just step in or…”

<Roll> “Hello? Is anyone there reaching me? I’ve seen Dr. Light use this a thousand times now, so I hope I’m doing this right.”

<Axl> “What the-?! A girl?! Hey wait...you’re that robot we met during that Genesis Portal mess with Sigma. You’re Roll and the Mega Man guy is Rock, Right?”

<Roll> “Ah! I’m so glad you remember! But…who are you again?”

<Axl> “What? You don’t remember me? I’m Axl! Maverick Hunter and formerly of Red Alert. Come on. We saw each other a few times while on the Sky Patrol.”

<Roll> “Oh sorry. Its just that things got hectic. Especially if that raccoon girl there making a mess.”

<Axl> “Think it was a jungle badger actually, but us Hunters probably wouldn’t have made it to the scene if it wasn’t for her.”

<Roll> “So we’re missing some parts of the story, huh? I was there to help my big brothers, but might have missed a few things.”

<Axl> “Tell me about it. Why did Sticks get to see more of those other worlds than I did? What a gyp.”

<Roll> “Well I’m just so glad that Rock got to meet back up with Sonic again. I hear I wasn’t even around to see everyone last time. At least there’s what Sonic tells me.”

<Axl> “Strange thing is that even with us fighting along each other so much, there’s still so much we know about each other’s homes.”

<Roll> “Eh? Is it really safe telling me about stuff that hasn’t happened yet?”

<Axl> “Hey, it’s no biggie. I’m sure that X and Zero won’t get too riled up from me sharing a few details.”

<Roll> “Okay! Well I’ll be sure to share in the blame too as long as we can clean things up once we’re finished!”

<Axl> “Sure thing! Just don’t expect me to do any house-keeping.”

“The Day of Σ”

(A) “Things for the Hunters were pretty rocky the first time around. Sigma used to be the field commander, but showed his true colors once many Hunters joined up with him to become Mavericks. X and Zero were among the few who stood up to him that day.”

Playable: Mega Man X
Enemies: Sigma
Stage: Central Highway

“Titans on the Attack”

(R) “But what about Sonic’s world? I hear that before Sigma made things all messy, that hedgehog has some problems at night. He turned into a monster basically! At least that’s what I hear. So…why didn’t that happen once all the fighting started? Was there just no moon during the fused world crises?”

“Breaking Through”

(A) “Evil doppelgangers? Zero’s told me plenty about soulless copies like that. Makes me wonder if anyone’s ever considered sending an army of X clones after us. That would be a scary thought. This Metal Sonic mechaniloid made a go to steal those Chaos Emeralds just before getting lost out in other worlds.”

Playable: Metal Sonic

“Fight for the Future”

(R) “Rock’s lately been thinking a lot about the future and how anything Dr. Light has will help anyone else far from now. X made mention of this hedgehog named Silver who’s more about looking to the past to save the future. I hear he helped out Sonic against that mean “Copy Sonic”.”

“To A Brighter Future?”

(A) “Oh yeah. Silver! Him I remember! I didn’t know what to make when some fuzzy guy popped in and suddenly gave Vile a piece of his own medicine. Course a misunderstanding broke out. I swear I didn’t take any shots at him first! Sure he sent them right back with those freaky powers, but…okay. Maybe~ I did have a role in starting this fight. My bad.”

“Absolution vs Infinity”

(A) “So this new buddy of ours might have been just the thing to make sure Sigma couldn’t get away. Sigma doesn’t seem like much of a threat in just virus form, but then he sent some Mechaniloid copies of himself after us! Took a while to get caught up after that.”

Playable: Mega Man X & Silver

“The Onis and the Devil”

(R) “Just thinking about those Deadly Six leave me scared, especially if they’re out doing bad things along with Sigma. That other bad doctor, Eggman, had forced them to be his friends before, so they weren’t very happy once Sigma got them free.”

“Getting Reacquainted”

(R) “Eh?! So Dr. Wily and Dr. Eggman used to know each other?! That explains a lot actually. He seems just like the type of meanie to start trouble with Dr. Wily. I don’t remember anything either way, but I got the feeling that Eggman must have really got Dr. Wily mad last time, even if he didn’t remember it. What could be so bad that even Dr. Wily would put his foot down?”

“Silenced Cacophony”

(A) “Theses Zetis sure do leave me in a bad mood with how they’re basically able to work robots like puppets. What I don’t get though is how Sigma is just able to shrug off their control. Could it be due to his nature as the Sigma Virus?”

Playable: Sigma

“The End of Dr. Wily?!”

(R) “The last time Rock fought Dr. Wily, I was really worried. I didn’t understand why my other brother we have just couldn’t talk it out. Not to mention that Dr. Wily left Auto and the lab in such a mess before taking away Dr. Light’s newest robot. I just focused on cleaning up, but was so worried for them both. For a while, we even thought that Dr. Wily didn’t make it out from that battle.”

“Deadly Serious”

(A) “I really shouldn’t let Roll see this part from the data log. It might give her some nightmares. Seeing what the Deadly Six are capable of disturbs me to no end. Not only can they make robots go Maverick with but a thought, but that small blue speck in particular even made Mega Man turn his own Buster to his head! Yikes…”

“Six in the Crossfire”

(R) “Sonic can be a bit more rude than my brother, but he’s always out helping people. Those bad Zetis brought Sonic to the city where all the people just wanted to cheer Sonic on! How could those meanies even think of attacking them? I’m glad Sonic was there to keep them safe, but he still got caught in the end.”

“A Wrong Turn at Bygone”

(A) “Okay. So here’s when we first realized that things were getting weird. Sure it seemed more tranquil, but the animal folk here make Silver seem normal in comparison. After a minute we decided this wasn’t where he was from. This crazy local girl tried to fight it out with us at first, but was surprisingly quick to put things together. Maybe she’s the psychic one here?”

“This is our Villain?”

(A) “Aw man. Really? This is who the Sonic of this world has to fight on a regular basis? I mean the Mechaniloids here are cowards, his Ride Armors not that put together, and he can’t even take over a small rural civilization. To be fair, I hear other Eggmans are worse off, but still.”

“Maverick Master”

(R) “No….I can’t bear to look. Did Dr. Eggman and Wily really make Rock fight so cruelly against our new friends? The way he used his weapons…the way he smiled. It just doesn’t seem like my brother to do such things.”

Playable: Mega Man (M’egga Man)

“Fighting Against Freedom”

(A) “Geez…he’s almost like a Maverick fighting like that. I’m just glad things eventually resolved themselves before we had to do our duty. Course we hadn’t arrived yet, but our jobs to retire Mavericks, not to mention protecting organics whether they be human or fur.”

“Another Variable Weapon?”

(R) “Wait, this robot?! The way he fights and uses the abilities of others is almost like Rock. I know I should be thinking about what happened with my brother back then, but I’m sure that Dr. Light would take interest into just what kind of robot a Gizoid is.”

“The Other Rad Red”

(R) “Ah! It’s Blues! I know he did a lot of bad things as Break Man, but I don’t hold anything against him. He is our brother after all! I’m sure that if anyone could help defeat that hedgehog robot, he could! Of course at the time I had no idea that it was Sonic he was fighting.”

“Cross World Outbreak!”

(A) “Damn it! By the time we had arrived, we were too late! Not only had Sigma fused these worlds together, but he has also spread a small fraction of his Sigma Virus into the drones for the local law enforcement. We made ourselves known when X gave the okay in lending a hand.”

Playable: Mega Man

Stage: Mobotropolis Grid

“Electrical Communication”

(A) “Speaking of which, said kitty also helped give them a more heavy duty sparing session in order to help them use those armors we’ve acquired. I’m actually kinda jealous since X has collected more than myself. By the way, we’ve had to bus Mavericks in the net plenty times, but never met anything quite like this Nicole AI.”

“Brothers Beyond”

(A) “I was pretty tempted to get into the action myself at this point and I’m pretty sure Zero wanted a turn. That other red guy with the scarf’s also caught my interest, but he seemed more worried about fighting outright. I’m guessing this old Mega Man has a Zero of his own. So is there some proto version of me around this time yet?”

“Abandoned Memory”

“Stowaways”

(R) “Dr. Wily?! But, the last I heard he was caught in the rubble of his old castle the last time Rock fought him. Then again, I should have known better when I think about it. I didn’t know who this strange Eggman with the brush-stache was, but all of Sonic’s friends concider him just as bad if not worse. We weren’t quick to trust them when they showed up and gave them a time out in the brig.”

“Oni Warriors: Dawn of Nightmares”

(A) “So how did these docs get over our way anyway? Well they had a little help from this other human named Xander Payne. Who’s he again? Oh right, he was said to be the founder of that weird anti-Reploid faction that’s still around to this day. Apparently he had helped those two bail out when Sigma and these Deadly Six creatures caught onto those two trying to pull one over on them.”

“Wild Boomerang”

(R) “Oh…I’m not quite sure what to think of that Sticks. She comes off fun at first, but she put me through the same death traps Rock was going through just because she thought my broom was giving a mean look. Come to think of it, maybe we should have gave her a good scolding. I mean there were spikes and everything! Everyone else thinks she’s pretty weird too, but were happy to still train.”

“Deadly 6: The Greatest Battle of All Time!”

“Keep Fighting!”

(A) “Damn it! I just couldn’t control myself and it felt like my body was moving on its own! Did these Zeti have some way to turn us Maverick or something?! That dude with the shades was particularly having it bad. I heard that he’s got some unstable core making his days numbered. Don’t know if anything in our time could fix him or not, but the red guy in the dreads basically told him to quit sulking. I’m thinking I like that guy’s moxie.”

“What Are We Fighting For?!”

(R) “I didn’t understand why Rock and the others were suddenly fighting our friends all of a sudden at first.

CG Cutscene: Fate of Many Worlds                                   (BGM: MVC3 Main Theme)

On top of the Sky Patrol, all the different factions would be gathered up. The Freedom Fighters, Mega Man and the Robot Masters, Team Sticks, and the Maverick Hunters. Stepping out in front of Sonic and Mega Man were the four Street Fighters gathered; Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and Guile. As everyone looks out they witness the massive Sigma-2 laughing and partially obscured by red clouds. Then many Genesis Portals began to open up all over and the group stands for a moment.

<Mega Man> “Ready?”

<Sonic> “Yeah! Let’s do it to it!”

Everyone shouts in unison as they jump into these portals. Scenes then transition from one world from another, revealing several scenes. One is of Axel Stone and Cody Travers fighting Magma Dragoon. They hit him with a Grand Upper and Criminal Upper simultaneously. Another scene transitions to Hayato Kanzaki leaping in with his Plasma Sword to battle Dark Force from the Phantasy Star series. Another scene shows Dante dodging crystalized spikes as he returns fire against a half-fiery Ixis Naugas on top of Tem-Ni-Gru. Shadow recovers at a place called Volcanic Rim, looking up and seeing someone with a “Ten” kanji that had his back turned to him. Elsewhere, the Star Division is suddenly joined with Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura in fighting off the forces of Nobunaga in the streets of New York. In a dark corridor, Chris Redfield is prepping a rocket launcher while Jill opens fire onto The Magician. Team Hooligan sits in a bar in Kamurocho, looking uneasy as they sit next to Kazuma Kiryu having a drink. One other world showed Hotsuma, Strider Hiryu, Ibuki, and Epio teaming up against Grandmaster Meio on the Third Moon. A very irate Albert Wesker steps in as Dr. Finetivus slips out of his lab, carrying a virus sample, Wesker himself looking about ready to burst forward and catch him in an instant. In what’s left of Moebius, Scourge and Fiona are in a standoff with Prometheus and Pandora. In Vigrid City, Rouge and Morrigan sit back while Huitzil and Omega fight off the Angels of Paradiso, the two Team Dark members being their Segasonic variants rather than Archie due to the plot. Elsewhere once more Princess Devilot seems to have forcibly drafted the Super Sonic Search and Smash Squad. Then somewhere else we see the classic incarnation of Dulcy flying along with Orta on her dragon while the Ryu and Nina of BOF4 look overhead from a field. All these montages finish by showing some of the previously shown Mega Man and Sonic characters each arriving at their respective worlds just before the scene ends.

“Select Your Fighter”

(A) “So here’s how Ryu got to be with us. During that commotion from earlier, our new weird friend with the boomerang got knocked into a portal. She apparently got to see this new world with more humans than usual from some kinda fighting tournament. Man~, I never get to cross over into cool places like that. Anyways, she actually had a good idea after bringing them all to us.”

“To Master the System”

(R) “I’m still really mad at Sticks for earlier, but I have to admit she had a good plan. Basically, we go to these other worlds and make some new friends to help us out with Sigma. This first place seemed nice from what Blues and Sonic told me this place was fairly peaceful, but had a lot of balls and bricks scattered everywhere. Someone seriously needs to clean all that up!”

“Eternal Arcadia”

(R) “Tempo and Blues went with Knuckles to these island floating in the sky. I wonder how they’re doing that on their own. While keeping Sigma from ruining their world, everyone met some pirates. Good pirates. Heehee.~ I wonder if any air pirates are around back where we come from.”

“Into Dreams Once More”

(A) “So this place…is kind of like a dream? I’m not sure I follow. Also there’s these weird clowns flying without any jet propulsion. So the two-tailed fox went with the robot with the fan to find some more help. He basically found this guy…I think…called Nights. I can’t even figure what he is, but at least he doesn’t take things too seriously.”

Stage: Splash Garden

“Good Morning!”

(R) “I’m glad I got to go with Amy in particular. I just feel we’ve got so much in common! The world we went to was a bit strange, but at the same time I could tell it was a fun place. Once you get around the crows and chicken suits, it’s a pretty place. It could use a good cleaning though since there’s egg shells left all over.”

“Viewtiful World”

(A) “Didn’t Zero once mention some weird dream with someone matching this description? I just couldn’t picture meeting corny super-heroes like this personally. Aw who am I kidding, this guy’s stylish…or should I say…Viewtiful! Hey, this world’s craziness hasn’t got anything on the stuff Sticks spouts out though. Yeah, she somehow caught up with us. Don’t ask.”

“Down with the Ship”

(R) “We were doing so good getting more people to help us, but I was worried about our friends back on the ship. Maybe~ it wasn’t such a good idea leaving it next to Sigma. Yet this other robot came out of nowhere to help them for some reason. That one who looks like Sonic is supposed to be a bad guy, but it was real nice of him to help us out.”

Playable: Sigma-2
Enemies: Metal Sonic/Neo Metal Sonic
Stage: Sky Patrol

“A Fighting Chance”

(A) “Huh?! Who’s this other grey hedgehog supposed to be?! Seems a bit more head-on when it comes to Silver. Personality-wise he’s more along the lines of Zero if you ask me. Sigma was about to suck the remaining life out of our worlds, but he dived in out of nowhere to buy us some time.”

Playable: Morph/Omega Morph
Enemies: Sigma-2
Stage: Skull Egg Zone

“All Star Showdown”

(R) “Wow!~ I didn’t expect this many people to come in help us! I didn’t get to see half the places where they were from. I mean there’s even some dragons right out of a storybook! I’m glad they’re all so willing to do their part, even though this mess almost looks like it’ll take more effort than usual to clean up.”

“The Final Journey”

(A) “Shoot! Sigma pulled another fast one on us again! He was basically biding his time just to get even stronger! I’ve only fought the guy a few times, but I honestly should have expected this. He was even making X look bad and throwing the rest of us around like rag-dolls.”

Enemies: Sally, Vyse, & Viewtiful Joe

“An Unbeatable Love”

(R) “This Sigma…he was so scary. He was about to kill all our friends, but Sonic brought in something he had left over. There’s these extra-shiny gems that give more power than even we know of. When Rock combines with Rush, he gets a little stronger, but I had never seen anything like this!”

“One More Time”

(A) “Sit by and let his little big bro have all the fun? Yeah right! Sigma was our problem first, so we’re finishing it! Okay, so X isn’t that much of a glory hog like a certain hedgehog, but he was more than willing to use one of his spare armors along with the Chaos Emeralds to finish Sigma for good!”

CG Cutscene: X-Buster                 (BGM: Sigma’s Theme – MMX5/Don’t Wanna Be)

As the three super versions of the three heroes stood there amidst the wreckage. The sky began to be filled with fractures as more and more Genesis Portals opened.

<Sonic> “Well no sweat! We just have to put some Chaos Control into this?”

<X> “Chaos Control? What is it?!”

<Sonic> “A more direct version of that stuff from before, just put your pull focus into everything.”

<Mega Man> “Okay. Got it!”

Sonic put his hands out first and focused a sphere of energy out into a sphere. Mega Man held out his Mega Buster and charged it, beginning to the same. X would hesitate for a moment before also joining in. As they concentrated, the air would be filled with laughter. While still focusing, they would look up to see Sigma’s transparent head looming above.

<Sigma> “Do you think that power will mean a difference?! I was a god before and all of your fighting only accelerated this further.”

<Sonic> “Yeah? Well all this is the power to turn dreams into reality! Our purest desires given form!

<Mega Man> “It’s the desire to save the ones we love!”

<X> “It’s the power to save our worlds, all our worlds, and finish you once and for all!”

<Mega Man> “…And it’s the end…!”

<Sonic> “…For you…!”

<X> “…Sigma!”

<ALL> “CHAOS CONTROL!”

They fired a blast all at once into the sky, as well as the vision of Sigma now merged with it. While Sigma’s face would strain, he would only laugh.

<Sigma> “It’s far too late! All you can do now is watch as your efforts were for nothing!”

Elsewhere in a secret area watching all of this.; Eggman, Wily, and Xander Payne would watch onto this.

<Wily> “He thinks so, eh?”

<Eggman> “Well pretty soon, reality is going to be our plaything!”

As the two looked to the Master Engine. Xander looked to the window and watched the sphere in front of Sigma’s face shifting. It would show scenes from throughout the Worlds Unite arc. Xander’s eye sparks and he points a gun at the two doctors.

<Payne> “I don’t think so.”

<Eggman> “Eh? What’s this?!”

<Wily> “Trying to save all those robots? That goes against everything you believe in, Xander.”

<Payne> “I’m only going to borrow enough power…”

He pressed a button and looked at the direction of Sigma’s portal.

<Payne> “…to do this!”

He fired out a beam from his eye and it would shoot into the Chaos Control portal, hitting the virus Sigma from way back to the start of the story.

<X, Sonic, and Mega Man> “NOW!~”

They fired all at once, the Mega Men with their busters and Sonic with an improvised version of Chaos Spear. These would collide with the portal to force it back, causing both the past and the present Sigma to cry out in pain as the scene began to white out. The yellow Chaos Control orb/portal would collide with the sky and the scene began to white out as Mega Man, Sonic, and X looked out confidently.

They both copy weapons kind of like some robots we all know by now. X got Shard’s help in finding a way home for the Maverick Hunters and Sticks. He was running the network on his own and since Nicole wasn’t around. Seemed to really miss her. But just then, these strange robots that looked like X attacked!...or so I hear.”

(R) “Those “copy robots” seemed like a big problem, but X needed to get Sticks home first. They had come across someone that looked like someone Snake Man would get along with. He had another of Sonic’s friends under his control. At least…I hear he’s a friend. What Axl told me about his personality wasn’t too flattering. Also, I don’t think I ever got that apology from Sticks.”

Someone who claimed he was from our far future had joined up with these shady characters seeking the power to rewrite worlds. Think his name was…Dr. Weil. They tried to throw us off with your typical bad guy lectures of course. Isn’t this the part where I usually cut the lame speeches off with a bullet?”

<Axl> “Well…that all was certainly a trip if I say so myself.”

<Roll> “I’m glad everyone made it back, but I still don’t know how everything got fixed back to the way it was at the end.”

<Axl> “I know for a fact I saw X, Mega Man, and Sonic attempt to try something; but I got the feeling that we had a little help.”

<Zonic> “Bingo. Probably wouldn’t have pulled it off if it wasn’t for Xander Payne gaining a conscience and nixing Sigma before any of this even started.”

<Axl> “Whoa! Sideways guy!”

<Roll> “Sonic is that you? You look almost like Gravity Man walking on the walls like that.”

<Zonic> “Well seems that time has progressed further on your world. Dr. Wily’s confirmed alive as far as we know?”

<Roll> “Well, yeah. That was a bit of a surprise for me too when he was the one who kidnapped Kalinka to force Dr. Cossack to do his dirty work.”

<Zonic> “But no memories that he was alive before that…hm…”

<Axl> “Wait…just who the hell are you?!”

<Zonic> “Just call me, Zonic. You’ll be happy to know that Payne’s trick along with you three helped form the Nexus in the refuge of the Cosmic Interstate, thus making it easier to repair all the damage from the last time this happened.”

<Axl> “I…don’t follow.”

<Zonic> “It’s okay But I wanted to give a message to both the Light family and the Mavrick Hunters. It’s from Sonic twice over, possibly even infinitely more so.”

<Axl> “…Twice…over?”

<Roll> “Oh? A message from Sonic?”

<Zonic> “Yes. He says….thank you.”

<Roll> “I see. Well he saved our worlds first, so me too then!”

<Axl> “Yeah. That goes double here and don’t forget a certain badger also.”

<Zonic> “Yeah. Already done here. She asked me to deliver an apology also. In any case, gotta juice.”

<Roll> “…Juice? Wait, was that who I think it was?”

<Axl> “Haven’t the foggiest, but we’ll be sure to keep in touch via all these capsules you leave us.”
